+    Text generation utility based on beam search algorithm.
+
+    At each time-step, beam search keeps the beams (sequences) of the top
+    `num_beams` highest accumulated probabilities, and uses each one of the
+    beams to predict candidate next tokens.
+
+    Args:
+        token_probability_fn: a callable, which takes in input_sequence
+            and output the probability distribution of the next token. If
+            `from_logits` set to True, it should output the logits of the next
+            token. The input shape would be `[batch_size, length]` and the
+            output should be `[batch_size, vocab_size]`, where batch_size is
+            variable.
+        prompt: a list or a Tensor, can be 1D or 2D, the initial tokens to
+            append generated tokens. The initial beam for beam search.
+        max_length: int. The max length of generated text.
+        num_beams: int. The number of beams that should be kept at each
+            time-step. `num_beams` should be strictly positive.
+        from_logits: bool. Indicates whether `token_probability_fn` outputs
+            logits or probabilities.
+        end_token_id: int, defaults to None. The token marking the end of the
+            sequence, once encountered the generation is finished for the exact
+            sequence. If None, every sequence is generated up to `max_length`.
+            If set, all tokens after encountering `end_token_id` will be
+            replaced with `pad_token_id`.
+        pad_token_id: int, defaults to 0. The pad token after `end_token_id`
+            is received.
+
+    Returns:
+        A 1D int Tensor, or 2D int Tensor representing the generated
+        sequences.
+
+    Examples:
+    ```python
+    BATCH_SIZE = 8
+    VOCAB_SIZE = 10
